At the premiere of the play Wisdom, Tanisha Mukerji cut a pretty figure with a Lady Dior bag in black leather. She looked simple and sans make-up, in contrast to her look at her play The Verdict.

Along with Louis Vuitton Speedy, Hermes Birkin, Hermes Kelly and Chanel 2.55, the Lady Dior is considered one of the classic bags of all time. It is the little stories behind these bags and of course celebrity patronizing that makes these bags what they are today. Sure enough, Lady Dior comes with one too. The bag is named after Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, after she took a liking to it and ultimately went on to own some 30 such bags. In her memory, the house changed the bag’s name to Lady Dior. The classic bag comes in 3 sizes, 20 materials and 53 colors; still one can get their bag customized.

The exterior of the bag is quilted lambskin and carries the unique Cannage Stitching that is the multi-line stitching over leather that creates a diagonal pattern. Another striking feature is the metal charms – 4 in all, spelling out DIOR and in different sizes. It also comes with a longer handle. The shorter handles are partially tubular, with the inner surfaces being flat. The bag can cost anywhere between $2,000 to $12,000 depending on the material and size. Not surprisingly, these are only available at their boutiques, a move to retain its exclusivity.
